Now that the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2021 draft process is complete, it’s time to start evaluating how each player fits into the team’s scheme, how they’ll factor into the 2021 depth chart, and how they project to contribute in the long term. I started with the 58th overall selection: Missouri linebacker Nick Bolton.
Team fit
Bolton played the MIKE linebacker position for the Missouri Tigers in his two years as a first-team All-SEC starter. He was tasked with organizing the defensive front and adjusting the overall defense based on pre-snap movement by the offense.
